Yesterday (27 May) I tried to edit the InstantPreview page on the Wiki. No problem downloading the page, and I could preview my changes once, but when I tried to commit the changes (or refine them and do a second preview) the browser hung. Tried again today, and this time the browser hung on the first preview. This occurred with both Mozilla and (at least yesterday) with Internet Explorer.
Has anyone else had this happen, or is it simply further proof that I am accursed?
No, it has happened to me as well under some strange/unknown circumstances. For instance, I had this problem from at home until I upgraded the version of the wiki engine and then it disappeared. If you're having the same problems as I did, then you should be able to edit a page that has very little content. When I tried to track this down, it seemed like something stopped working when the size of the data that is posted gets to big. It beats me why this only happens when you save a page, but not while you do a preview...
So, could you try and see if you can edit for instance:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Playground/Robin
which has very little content.
I can edit this with no problem.
Then maybe you could try and see if you can edit a page with a lot of content at a different site, i.e.
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Test/LotsOfText
I can edit this, as well. In fact, it's a copy of the page I'm trying to edit on the LyX Wiki (minus, as best I can tell, just the definitions of LyX, LaTeX etc.), and I can do exactly the edit I'm trying on the LyX Wiki and save it successfully. So it does not appear to be a question of the amount of text.
Using a browser on a remote system did work. I have no idea why, of course.

Maybe I/we can figure out what is going on if I get some more data on this problem.
